Purpose Last Spring we agreed that the purpose of this TSG would be two-fold:
1) To give those of us who train others the opportunity to experiment with new applications and technologies.
2) To create ways to prioritize and train other staff to use these technologies with students.
Content
The content of this TSG will be chosen on an individual basis by the participants themselves. Some of the participants will be experimenting with applications they have seen demonstrated or modeled at a conference or class. Some will use time to develop ideas and skills necessary to use applications staff in other schools is using.
Some of the topics brainstormed last spring included:
Edmodo, audacity, animoto, moodle, eBooks, iPod touch applications, wikis, Google apps, new Bagerlink resources
Resources
We will have PCs and a smartBoard. I will bring one laptop and one iPod Touch. Please be responsible to bring other devices you may need such as cameras and microphones.
